Why did I choose to work for the Sox?

“I would like to share how appreciative I am of the East Coast Sox and its community.  I had just moved to Mississippi from New Jersey, and a little nervous as to how I would fit in and meet new people.  East Coast has made the transition very smooth, easy, and comforting.  The organization embraced me with open arms, and I had felt as if I were part of their family since day one. I cannot thank them enough.

I am very grateful to the Sox for allowing me to lead, teach, and guide their young men.  I enjoy coaching baseball, but I love the connections you make with the players and other coaches through this game even more. The future is bright for this East Coast Sox organization and I cannot wait to be a part of it.”
